Turn on the air conditioning to cooling mode and add refrigerant from the low-pressure side until the pressure reaches 0.4~0.6. Below are some details about air conditioning refrigerant recharge: When the air conditioning is not in use, add refrigerant from the recharge port. The system pressure should reach 0.8~0.9 for optimal performance. The correct method for adding refrigerant is to do it slowly. After adding a small amount, let the air conditioning run for about 10 minutes, then measure the pressure and current. If necessary, add more in increments, rather than using the immediate pressure and current readings as the standard. When adding refrigerant in winter, you can disconnect the four-way valve coil or artificially raise the indoor temperature sensor to a level that allows cooling mode to activate.

Is it normal for an electric car's battery to always show full charge?

It is not normal for an electric car's battery to always show full charge. Here is a detailed introduction about automotive safety: 1. Overview: Automotive safety for vehicles is mainly divided into two major aspects: active safety and passive safety. Active safety refers to the ability to control the car as freely as possible. Whether it's braking and accelerating in a straight line or steering left and right, it should be as smooth as possible, without deviating from the intended path and without affecting the driver's vision and comfort. 2. Others: The scope of automotive safety technology is becoming broader and more detailed, developing towards integration, intelligence, systematization, and all-encompassing measures. Strictly controlling speed during nighttime driving is a fundamental measure to ensure safety.

Information about car tires is as follows: 1. Car tires: They are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, and together with the car suspension, they help to mitigate the impact during driving. 2. Functions: Ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving; ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; improve the car's traction, braking, and passing ability; bear the weight of the car. The important role of tires in cars is increasingly being recognized by people.

What to Do When the Air-Fuel Ratio Is Incorrect?

A clogged air filter obstructs the intake passage, reducing air intake and causing the mixture to become too rich. The solution is to clean the air filter. A worn fuel injector fails to close properly, leading to fuel dripping and an overly rich mixture. The solution is to replace the fuel injector. A faulty fuel pressure regulator causes excessively high system fuel pressure. Similarly, air leaks or poor intake in the injector or insufficient fuel pressure can be resolved by replacing the fuel valve. A dirty or malfunctioning mass air flow sensor or degraded catalytic converter performance can often be attributed to poor fuel quality. The solution is to clean the mass air flow sensor.

How to Operate the Light Switch While Driving?

For European and American cars, the switch is generally located at the lower left side of the steering wheel. For Japanese and Korean cars, the lighting system is usually placed on the left turn signal lever. When driving in dimly lit underground parking lots or tunnels, the headlights will automatically turn on and then turn off when there is sufficient light. This helps other vehicles make correct judgments during overtaking or meeting, thereby avoiding rear-end collisions. These are usually small red lights. In foggy conditions with low visibility, the driver's view is limited. Turning on the fog lights, which have strong penetration, can increase the vehicle's visibility distance and improve the driver's visibility.

How Long is the Transmission Warranty for Ford Focus?

The transmission warranty for Ford Focus is three years or 100,000 kilometers. Below are the details of the warranty service: 1. Generally, different parts and components have different warranty periods. Fast-wearing components like batteries, air filters, cabin air filters, and timing belts have shorter warranty periods. 2. The Maintenance Manual usually specifies that wear-and-tear parts such as tires, brake pads, clutch plates, window glass, wiper blades, and headlights are not covered by the warranty. These components are functional at the time of delivery and are expected to wear out naturally; subsequent issues are typically due to accidents or human damage. 3. Only faults or damages caused by quality issues are eligible for warranty coverage. Non-quality-related issues or human-induced damages are not covered.
